First Meal: It’s the day before Gary’s birthday and Memorial Day. The celebration continues. I made organic Buckwheat Crepes. This is an awesome, no-fail recipe (if you follow my instructions!) I took out our “new” Ralph Lauren Wedgewood plates for the occasion. They have little American flags in the design. I filled my first…
Tea: My morning Maté was a treat with the Chocolate Cashew Milk Gary prepared. First Meal: Our plan this morning was to go on a long walk to the Mt. Hebron Cemetery in Flushing. I recently discovered that my great grandfather Louis Raphael was buried there. I wanted to know more about him and my…
First Meal: I am in love with these Mandarin Oranges. This and Maté tea is a great way to start the day. Second Meal: We are pretty wiped out from our two night Broadway adventure so we took it easy today. Gary made organic Oatmeal with organic Apples and organic Raisins, a classic. …

First Meal: It’s so good to have Gary back home again! He made us our Rolled Oats Cereal with Raspberries, Coconut, Pumpkin Seeds, Walnuts and Apples, all organic of course. Tea Break: We won the lottery! We’ll be seeing Harry Potter the Cursed Child Part I tonight and Part II tomorrow. What a great…
Snack: I had a procedure this morning at the dermatologist. Nothing serious but something I wanted to take care of. Gary came along. When it was done I took him to Chelsea Market where I had discovered the Seed + Mill for halvah a few weeks ago. I just love the display! Gary chose…
First Meal: Gary arrived this morning on a red eye flight from California. He’s been gone for five months, except for one 3-week visit home in April. He arrived and got to see all of the 34 boxes he shipped home, piled neatly in the foyer space. He seemed pleased with the homes I found…

First Meal: I don’t like wasting anything, especially the water that vegetables cook in. Are you buying vitamin water? This is my vitamin water, the water remaining from cooking organic Red Cabbage It’s gorgeous. I added an organic Lemon Juice (with the rind) ice cube. Next I sat down for a proper breakfast of…
Where to begin? The 34 boxes Gary sent from San Jose have arrived. I can’t wait to discover all the treasures inside. I make a pot of Maté and start opening boxes, sorting the packaging materials to save and reuse. First Meal: It’s time to stop and eat. It’s only the afternoon. I finsih…
First Meal: Big day today. I am scheduled to receive the 34 boxes Gary had shipped from his parents’ home filled with his mom’s treasures. It’s going to be Christmas for a long time, opening each box. I reheated the remaining cooked Polenta, adding in more water to make it creamy. I topped it with…
First Meal: Organic Mandarin Oranges are a refreshing bit of juicy sunshine. I had one with my morning Maté. I had to move quickly, no time for sitting and eating. I was delivering three sets of dishes to my friend Janet. Service for Thirtysix! I used to use them here in the house for vegan…
First Meal: I have a dear friend Josée whom I met when I lived in Aix-en-Provence, France. Her friends, Mehmouna and Guy were visiting New York. Josée wanted me to meet them. Mehmouna asked for a tour of Queens and today was the day. I wasn’t sure when we were going to start. I was…
First Meal: It’s a sunny organic Polenta Cereal morning. Inside, anyway. It’s cloudy outside and it’s supposed to rain. The polenta was cooked with organic Apricots and organic Pears. I had the other half of the organic Pink Grapefruit I cut yesterday. Second Meal: Often, especially when by myself, I get so wrapped up…
First Meal: Gary is still in California for another week. When you are used to preparing meals for two, you end up with leftovers. Large grapefruits cut in half make two nice servings. This grapefruit looked so good I thought I might each both halves. I was wrong! With my organic Rolled Oats topped with…
First Meal: This morning I was meeting my neighbor Marcia and we were going to visit our 92-year-old neighbor who fell and is now in the hospital. There were so many things I wanted to get done before we left. I grabbed the one remaining Baked Red Lentil “Salmon” Cakes just before leaving. We…
First Meal: When I visited my 92-year-old neighbor in the hospital a couple of days ago she was eating salmon with mashed potatoes and squash. The salmon was the same color as the red lentils I had just cooked. I made a mental note to make a salmon-like recipe with them. I did it today,…
Good morning. My juice cleansing continues. I had an organic Celery juice with organic Lemon and organic Ginger Juices. I like the mix better than straight celery. I couldn’t wait to have my Red Lentil Porridge. It’s just cooked Red Lentils. Today I topped it with nutritional yeast. I had a doctor appointment…
I am thrilled to have a refrigerator full of fresh made juices. I began the day with organic Carrot Juice mixed with a little Ginger and Lemon Juices. Later in the day I cooked some organic Red Lentils that I had soaking since the morning. I love eating them plain like a porridge. …
I’ve been home a few days and I am ready for a cleanse. I got the juicer set up and washed all my veggies. I decided to keep each item separate. I made organic Carrot Juice, organic Celery Juice, organic Lemon Juice (with the rind), organic Ginger Juice and organic Apple Juice. It was fun.…
